This week Britain has taken a beating from severe weather conditions in the south, leaving many homes, farms and transport routes destroyed by extreme flooding.

Luckily things at the west coast of Scotland have been much tamer, however much to our annoyance, February is proving to be as wet a month as its predecessors. As Scotland endures it's wettest winter in over 100 years we find ourselves asking for any change: cold, sun, even snow.. as long as it stops raining!

Though looking at the forecast for the coming week, things certainly don't look promising.

Today: Heavy rain expected throughout the day, with some brief patches of sunshine.

Monday: With a slight temperature drop, prepare for potentially icy conditions on the road. Heavy rain will dominate in the morning and early afternoon, though things are looking to dry up as the evening progresses

Tuesday: Looks to be another wet day, with light rain and sleet showers alternating throughout

Wednesday: Projected to remain unchanged, with more rain to come.

Thursday: Flurries of snow and sleet are anticipated to fall sporadically throughout the day, with temperatures becoming near-freezing

Friday: The weather looks to take a slight turn, with the day remaining mainly dry.

Saturday: Sunny intervals and light cloud predicted, giving us the opportunity to stretch out legs in the fresh air.

So perhaps there is some light at the end of the tunnel, with the week looking to end on a dry note - and perhaps a bit of sun!

This bodes well for the spring flora that has started shooting up around the island, allowing them the opportunity to absorb some light and photosynthesize into blossoming flowers just in time for Spring.

With any luck, it won't be long until the rain is behind us and our guests can start to enjoy all that the island has to offer!
